One activity regarded the strategic vision of the city is that the City of Banja Luka should have a multifunctional space where different purposes would be connected. The function and capacities of that space should satisfy regional needs for this type of activity. The cultural offer is expanding with this content, thus creating optimal conditions for the development of concert, ballet and opera arts, since the existing capacities in the City have long been exceeded in technological and parametric aspects. In addition to the cultural offer, the future complex will also serve as a congress activity that combines the phenomena of the exchange of scientific knowledge and education. The aforementioned contents are accompanied by exhibiting activities, catering, business, administration and other necessary purposes. The concept of multifunctional-hybrid content aims to streamline space utilization without reducing the convenience of use and technology of the intended uses.

Real-time architectural visualization provides a compelling immediacy that helps stakeholders in architectural projects better understand unbuilt buildings. With the interactive architectural visualization tool Twinmotion, it’s now possible to transform BIM and CAD models into these convincing real-time experiences quickly and easily. Architectural designers benefit enormously from tools that are easy to learn and use, but they also want to create visualizations that provide a genuine sense of presence. Realism is the key to achieving this, a focus of the upcoming release of Twinmotion 2020.
In this article, we’ll provide a sneak peek at some of the new Twinmotion features.

In fleeting times, when emotion ages before reaching consciousness, it is necessary for the individual to opt for being in the world: to set out in search of memory. At the limits of memory, the Japanese garden is discovered as a transcendent mesh woven with an asceticism and an aesthetic that do not seem to be of this world.
